The neighbourhood, however, is interesting enough on account of the curious aqueducts for supplying the town with water, and the Mercede forest which, in D'Urville's opinion, might more justly be called a coppice, for it contains nothing but shrubs and ferns.

I still have a twinge of regret about felling, but am consoled by the fact that almost all the trees will coppice vigorously, meaning their deep roots will create dozens of new shoots from the old stumps.
